Show off them splices

[Limb It]

You have probably already though of this, but if you put a carabiner in the adjustable eye you have a mid-line attachable and retrievable sling. Is that what you are using it for? I make mine from Ice.

This was made for one of my guys as a friction saver for conifers. The biner in the loop is a great idea though. Going to have to steal that one.

That rope is too pretty for that dried up leather and those hammered rings. Nice splicing.

Once you get it on the mule, do you hook the plow up to the rings?

I have to admit, looking at that I wondered if there was also a bit to go in the groundies mouth when they're hauling logs with that thing...

Love the splices though.

What an image in my head!!!
I wish LimbLoppa was around. I know he would post the perfect pic for this!

nice. how do you make that last sling, the double ring?

It's a "boomsling" the directions are here. http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/double-head-x-ring-splice.32640/#post-486875
I had one last year in the whoopie configuration but didn't care for it. With the deadeye I can just leave the rigging line in it the whole time. I can also use one ring for rigging and one for a tag line if need be. Rings have become a large part of my arsenal.

Cool, then the last step is three brummels with the tail?

I just pull the tail back through itself to make it look good. Looks a lot cleaner then some electrical tape or whatever.

 

[Alex McManus]

True. What I dont understand is the throat of the splice, is it a locking brummel. I'm new to this splicing stuff.
Thanks

 

[Simpleiowaguy]

Yes. Brummel three times and bury the tail. I do a full with a little longer taper.

In response to your question,
1) measure your burial tail
2) calculate the amount of line for your
3 Brummells
3) measure the circumstances for the X
Rings that you'll be using
4) add the 4 lengths that you will use
for the line through line, roughly
6-8" between the X Rings and
the triple Brummell
5) taper 1/3-1/2 of your burial tail
6) put extreme tension on the X Rings
and the long tail to remove all of the
excess tension from the rig
7) bury the short tapered tail right
after the triple Brummell, and milk
Any slack out
8) whip stitch and if you want apply
heat shrink over whipping, if you
want to
I hope this helps you with how to assemble a Double Ring Rigging Sling.
Best of luck and take your time!

I'm glad my thread is still alive. I do have a confession......I have not spliced in a couple of years. I made my last set of gear, which i don't use often, and that what that. Good looking stuff guys!

Why the no splice? ...... I'm just beginning

When you start splicing in the tree, instead of tying off the branch, you know you have a problem.

Pretty cool. What kind of bungie and how did you anchor it at each end?
